In this episode, the hosts discuss the growing distrust of new technology due to its unfamiliarity and the potential for exponential growth in specialized infrastructure. They also explore how MLIR is providing faster and more effective ways to build domain-specific compilers.

Swift Compilers
Summary

There is a lot of similarity and redundancy between the two infrastructures in Swift compilers, requiring the building of a whole thing from scratch for each domain. Hotspot is one of the compilers that is really efficient in this space.
